A dialog box is a special window in the interface of a personal computer that contains controls. With these functions, you can accomplish a number of tasks.
Instructions

2. This window can be opened by pressing the key combination Ctrl + P.
3. It should be noted that clicking the "Print" item in the context menu will directly print the file, bypassing the dialog box.
Step 2

Also, each program has its own set of dialog boxes. To open a dialog box in any program, you just need to select the appropriate item in its control panel, or in the menu. To know which menu item you need to address for a particular action, you need to be able to work in this particular program.
